Artists

The Pitt County Arts Council at Emerge is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Pitt County by promoting artists and arts organizations, educating through the arts, and making the arts accessible to the entire community.

It is our mission, as stated above, that the Pitt Council at Emerge is dedicated to promoting artists and arts organizations. One way that we do that are by providing funding opportunities to further their career in the arts through grants. Another way that we do this is to provide opportunities for business growth, juried show opportunities, and instructor positions as a gallery and art center. Lastly, our new Artist Directory connects artists residing and working in Pitt County with opportunities.
